Primary and Secondary Qualities: Waiting for an Educational Godot.
Best, David
Oxford Review of Education, v11 n1 p73-84 1985

The primary qualities that should be taught are the development of (1) moral values and attitudes and (2) critical independent thinking in a spirit of creative inquiry. (Author/RM)
